Two adjustments I wish to see to ASTs

First, change the duration of Spear to 30s.

(It has a 20s duration when it was used for CD reduction, it's functioning more like Arrow/Balance now and I don't see why the duration couldn't be adjusted accordingly).

Second, make Sleeve Draw does not trigger CD on Draw

Yes, thanks.

Sorry for the mistake.

I think they mean to have AST's dps lowest among the healers...

As much as I love being OP just as much as the next lalafell, that's just a bit over the top.

Dragoon Battle Litany (Crit bonus) is 20s, Bard Battle Voice is 20s (DH bonus). Spear is currently pretty fair for what it does. Bards and Monks love it.

I feel it's intentional to keep AST as the lowest personal DPS because of it's utility. Although its kind of a pain to do the whole story mobs on when all you have is a single DoT and up to Malefic III, and the cleric stance change to a short cool down. Things just took forever to die compared to other jobs.

AST group DPS contribution is really high, so if its personal DPS was also high it'd really tip things over. But yes, when solo its quite annoying. Hell, I found stuff took forever to die solo as a WHM. Stormblood mobs just feel really durable while levelling.

Sorry, I don't agree that AST needs any buffs.
